Consensus
Looks like Eezox may be the overall winner for a preservative. I will clean all dies before coating them with Eezox.
As I mentioned, I have a dehumidifier running that is holding the humidity between 35% and 40%. I think this humidity range should be acceptable after cleanup and preservative application. Thanks to all who replied.

Oh about rust on the dies I use either Remington or Hornady dry lube no sticky no running to prevent and CorrosionX to remove or at least reduce |

I'm 15 miles south of downtown on Hwy 288. We'll have normal mosquitoes just like everywhere else. But then on occasion, there a large storm in the Gulf with strong gusting winds for a couple of days. The results will be that both the seagulls and black/white striped marsh mosquitoes get blown into our neighborhood. Break out the fumigators...
We always tend to catch more rain then rest of city... southern pathway of most thunderstorms/fronts hitting hot moist air from the Gulf. Last edited by Oso Polaris; 09-13-2019 at 02:24 AM. |

As far as removing surface rust from dies a brass wire wheel on a bench grinder is the cat's PJ's. For storage I put a piece of Cortec vapor phase metal protection paper in every die box cut to size. This is that brown paper that metal parts like bearings are wrapped in. The vapor phase paper keeps away all rust in my humid area of the country.

I have read some articles/threads on woodworking that raise concern about using desiccant type products for rust prevention. With the exception of an environmentally "sealed" container, desiccant will continue to draw/attract moisture from the surrounding environment (pull moisture into an unsealed container). The result of a unsealed container is you now have fully saturated desiccant sitting with your metal, which can encourage rust formation from higher levels of moisture in the container. At least this has been reported to have been the cause.
In my shop the treated paper only seems to work if it is tightly wrapped around the object. Even then I have also directly treated the metal with some form of protection (direct barrier). I have very little faith in an indirect barrier. I had a nice Leigh Nielsen hand plane that was wiped down with oil, placed inside a silicon impregnated stocking, and then stored inside workbench drawer go south on me. Imagine my heartburn when I took it out 2 months later to discover a fine layer of surface rust!!!! They all now get coated with Boeshield T9 or Johnson Paste Wax. Take this with a grain of salt: Depends what part of the country you're in and where your gear is stored. My friend doesn't believe in using a Golden Rod for fear that it will cause an electrical fire inside his safe. Instead, he uses a giant tub of desiccant. He routinely has to replace it or at least place it in the oven and evaporate out the water from the crystals. This wouldn't work in my master closet due to the amount of moisture coming from the bathroom (lots of hot showers). |

RRevisiting Rust Prevention - Indepth study
I am pulling this link over from Accurate Shooter. Someone did a nice test on all the top products.

As a preventative I'd recommend Eezox as well. I use it for firearms and knives with excellent results.
